Everton attacker Demarai Gray was happy with their FA Cup win at Hull City.

Gray played through the pain barrier for the win.

He said, "To concede so early wasn't helpful but we responded well. It's FA Cup football and I'm sure everyone watching enjoyed it but, for us, it was important to get the win.

"We had to dig deep but we're happy to be in the hat.

"We knew it would be difficult coming here, we are an experienced side and we know how the FA Cup is.

"Hull put up a very good fight, credit to them but we showed character and I'm happy we got the win.

"It's important, it would be nice to go on a good cup run and push as far as we can. For the fans it's a great competition but we have to take it game by game and today was important, not only for the cup but for team morale and we've got to push on now."
